Our Take

Kenny Dorham's "Whistle Stop" is like taking a ride on a whimsical, musical locomotive. The album kicks off with the title track, setting the tone with Dorham's smooth trumpet playing that feels like a gentle breeze on a sunny day. The rhythm section chugs along like a well-oiled machine, keeping the groove funky and fresh.

Tracks like "Sunrise in Mexico" transport you to a bustling street market, with Dorham's playful melodies dancing around your head like a mariachi band. The Latin influences are strong on this album, adding a spicy flavour to the mix.

"Windmill" is a standout track, with its hypnotic melody and infectious groove that will have you tapping your feet and nodding your head in no time. Dorham's trumpet soars and swoops, painting a vivid picture of a windmill swirling in the breeze.

Overall, "Whistle Stop" is a delightful journey through the world of jazz, with Dorham as your charming guide. His playing is crisp and melodic, his compositions are catchy and colourful, and the band is tight and energetic. So grab your ticket, hop on board, and let Kenny Dorham take you on a musical adventure you won't soon forget. All aboard!
